Hi Carl,

I hate to dredge up what might be an old discussion by now, but
kwin in KDE 4.5.1 won't work here (resulting in desktop crash)
unless I disable compositing entirely.  This is with latest
stable releases of everything in ftp.x.org/pub/individual/*/, 
to include libdrm-2.4.22, mesa-7.8.2, xorg-server-1.9.0, and
xf86-video-intel-2.13.0 on a Lenovo T400 with this: 
  Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller

I'm not interested in who's to blame and who isn't, but I *am*
interested in what's wrong and how to fix it.  Here's a link
to the blog post from one of the kde guys - it has a bit of
discussion about what's wrong (from their POV).  As a distro
packager guy, I couldn't care less about who's wrong and who's
right - I just want to be able to ship a set of packages that
play nicely together.  Any thoughts from you?  :-)
